 1  Post Cyst removal, mitigation Extreme pain in left leg, started in knee and now has consumed the entire leg affecting walking and even standing. Feels like a muscle cramp in the calf that will not stop, but it is from my ankle to my knee, also the hamstring. Starting to feel it in my left forearm yesterday, not getting worse yet. Heat helps pain, alternating hot/cold and elevating leg keeps pain at bay. Standing still causes extreme pain while upright movement (sever limping while walking) is much less painful. Doctor requested I stop taking it once I notified them. M 33 7 days

 1  Chest infection Shortness of breath, panic, anxiety, tingling in face, hand, arms, legs and feet. I took first dose yesterday. Within an hour I couldn't breath, oxygen dropped to 91%. Got incredibly anxious and called ambulance. At hospital I was struggling to breathe and sobbing uncontrollably convinced I was dying. I was given oxygen and nebuliser. Had X-rays and blood tests, all clear. Doctor thought maybe it was just a bad chest infection or asthma attack (I have never had asthma). I asked if the Doxycycline could have caused it and he said he didn't think so and I must keep taking it. Just took the next dose, within an hour I am feeling have bad tingling all over my face, hands, arms, legs and feet. It won't go away. I am also very very anxious again. This is 100% a reaction to the Doxycycline! Tingling is one of the side effects. My coughing has suddenly got worse too. I am not taking anymore, these are awful! F 42 2 days

 2  Walking pneumonia Muscle/joint aches, acid reflux, arrhythmia, insomnia, mounting irritability. Took 2 pills 12 hrs apart the first day then another pill 12 hours after that, intending to take 1 per day for five days. It did seem to knock out the infection pretty fast. But noticed weird acid stomach/reflux first day, very interrupted sleep, and exacerbated joint pain in back, hips and shoulders. Trying to sleep after the second day with a single dose, noticed elevated heart rate, could not sleep without sedative. Then interrupted sleep again. On top of it, mild anxiety and confusion. Drug does seem effective against bacteria but I won't be taking it again. F 68 2 days
